BID 2021-86 Bolton and River Street Force Main- CARV Vault 4 and Intertie Replacement Project

Clackamas County and Oregon City issued Bid #2021-86 for the Bolton and River Street Force Main- CARV Vault 4 and Intertie Replacement Project, a public works infrastructure procurement focused on sanitary sewer system improvements. The project involves replacing approximately 800 feet of 12-inch diameter PVC force main pipeline, rehabilitating a combination air release and vacuum (CARV) vault, and constructing an intertie valve vault. The bid was unit-price based, with specific requirements for pipeline, fittings, valves, and associated site work. The original bid response deadline was September 30, 2021, at 2:00 PM PT, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting previously held. Contractors were required to comply with City of West Linn's Public Works Construction Standards, Municipal Code, and Community Development Code, and provide 30-day advance notice to the Environmental Services Manager. The project specified a six-month completion timeline from permit issuance, with work limited to Monday-Friday, 7am-7pm and Saturday-Sunday/Holidays, 9am-5pm.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were noted in the procurement documents. Lee Contractors, LLC was identified as the apparent successful bidder with a bid amount of $199,900.00, subject to a 7-calendar day protest period for unsuccessful bidders. Funding for the project was expected to come from the Clackamas County Sewer System Improvement Fund and the Oregon City Wastewater Utility Fund. Contractors were required to provide business information, emergency contact details, and construction license numbers prior to work commencement. The project mandated full restoration of landscaping, trails, and other disturbed areas to prior or better condition within 30 days of disturbance. The contract would be formally executed after the protest period, with the county reserving the right to award to the next highest ranked bidder or withdraw the bid if the apparent successful bidder fails to negotiate and execute the contract.
